Crystal Spins…

Crystals, they shine, they sparkle, they capture and refract light. And they even grow. Yeah, me too.
Around and around and around and around…
And, sometimes she spins a tale or two…and sometimes she falls down because she’s a little dizzy.
Okay, me: I’m young, and in love, even if I am single sometimes. I’m a writer, a lover, a teacher, a singer, a creator. I have a big life and I want an even bigger one. I see the world in beautiful ways, and will see many parts of it as well. Throughout the recent years — since I graduated with my B.S. in 2005 — I have had a profound enlightenment. I’ve actually changed my mind about almost everything I used to be completely devoted to, and it has been incredible. I can truly say that I am amazing and that I am the best version of myself that I have ever been — and it’s all just getting better.
Letting go of fear and judgement, and being willing to admit that maybe I was wrong about everything — especially the things that were making me unhappy — has led me to a fantastic place.
I’m amazing. I’m smart, funny, happy and most of my friends think I’m a lot of fun. Plus, I get to love a lot of other people as part of my job. I’m always working on a new adventure. So, if you have any questions beyond that, I guess you’ll want to read my blog or comment below and ask me!
Happy reading. I hope you enjoy the spin!
Good morning! 🙂

Like you said, staying away from Facebook and blogging while at work can be pretty hard thing to do…
But it’s not at all hard when…
YOUR NETWORK ADMIN HAS BLOCKED ALL THOSE WEBSITES !!! 😦
I am one such troubled soul who doesn’t have the privilege of checking Facebook whenever he wants… I am a little used to it, now.
I also see myself writing something worth reading some day, so I keep trying. I would like to have my friends as critics on my work, and Oh Master of Creative Writing.. You are most welcome to comment! 🙂
Keep writing, you’ve a really nice blog here.

Hey Crystal,
You’re an aspiring writer? Looks to me like you already ARE a writer. Anyhow, I’m in a Communications in Professional Writing program and it has been very good in the sense that you get PAID to write (I’m sick of the starving student role. it gets boring). Anyhow, as awesome as creative writing is, maybe you should check out some of the universities in your area and see what they offer as an applied degree. Just a thought.
Keep typing girl!

Thanks for the support! I actually have a journalism degree and have tried the newspaper thing — not fulfilling enough considering who I am and how the industry currently works. But I’ll look in the Communications in Professional Writing. I’m actually writing a training manual at my current job.

Well hello there.
I’ve seen your comments on a number of blogs now and always wondered… Spins… Is that her last name? I realize now it isn’t, since I finally clicked through to your blog. I’m glad I did too, as I really enjoy the first two posts I’ve read. It would seem from your about page that we likely have some things in common.
I hope life is working out well for you and look forward to reading more of your writing. =)

I can totally relate to your ” trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up” =) I’m 26 and feel the same way! Especially since I fell in love with traveling and now don’t even want to have to work, I just want to travel. =)
Anyways…

Funny I can relate to this: “I have a steady job that (surprise) I don’t like all that much, but I’m trying to make the best of it.”
Blogging is making me happy and I do work something to keep me out of the 8-hour a day work routine pretty soon! I hope you’ll get hefty pay by writing so you can keep on writing more and more! 😉
